Then, being explained in detail with reference to Fig. 8 (A)~(C), Fig. 9 (A)~(C) and Figure 10 (A) and (B) makes connecting object object 20 action when being connect with electrical connector 10.
Under the full open position of Fig. 8 (A) and actuator shown in fig. 6 50, the open position of actuator 50 limits face 52d is abutted with the upper surface at the top 32 of insulator 30.In this embodiment, the actuator 50 of the full open position is beaten Angle of release degree is more than 90 ° (for example, front-rear direction being set as 0 ° in the accompanying drawings, by about 120 ° when measured clockwise).It is beating completely Under open state, open position limits the upper table plane-plane contact of face 52d and the top 32 of insulator 30.Therefore, even if to actuator 50 apply clockwise power or are applied from above power, and actuator 50 also can be reliably maintained to the position of full open position It sets.Under the full open position of actuator 50, the closing face 56C of the top end part of the interpolar wall 56 of actuator 50 and locking rotate The sections the D 55a of axis 55 is parallel with the connecting object object 20 of insertion section 31 is inserted into.Therefore, it is possible to zero insertion force (ZIF:Zero Insertion Force) connecting object object 20 is inserted into the insertion section 31 of insulator 30.At this point, the conducting arm 42 of contact 40 is The free state of flexible deformation does not occur.The lower surface of connecting object object 20 supports (mounting) by the upper surface of contact site 42a.
By the insertion section 31 of the insertion insulator 30 of connecting object object 20 (until rear end and rear wall until normal place 38 abut).Then, apply edge to actuator 50 via pressing plate portion 52 by closing the special closing fixture 101 of actuator 50 Anticlockwise rotatory force in figure.Thereby turn off actuator 50.It is with the force section with actuator 50 to close fixture 101 The prism shape of the front side press surface 102 that 53a is abutted and the bottom press surface 103 as bottom surface.The left and right of front side press surface 102 The length in direction is shorter with the length of the left and right directions of inclined surface 52b than closing.Closing fixture 101 can be moved forward and backward and be lifted The driving devices support such as (upper and lower) mobile air cylinder device.
In addition, in other words, actuator 50 can be opened to the force section 53a of closing inclined surface 52b and transverse shifting Close the position that fixture 101 abuts.
Fixture 101 is closed parallelly and linearly to connect to pressing plate portion 52 with front-rear direction from the rear of pressing plate portion 52 It is close mobile.At this point, front side press surface 102 abuts (Fig. 8 (A)) with force section 53a.By the front side press surface 102 and force section 53a The position of abutting is set as L1 (Fig. 6, Fig. 8 (A)) with the distance between the upper surface at top 32.Inclined surface is used assuming that being not turned off When 52b (in the case of previous actuator), the front side press surface 102 and lateral surface 52r and free end of fixture 101 are closed The force section 53a ' (Fig. 6, Fig. 8 (A)) that flat surface 52c intersects is abutted.It front side press surface 102 will be abutted at this time with force section 53a ' The distance between the upper surface at position and top 32 be set as L2.Then,
L1 > L2.
That is, making to actuate by identical pressing force using closing fixture 101 when being in full open position with regard to actuator 50 Device 50 closes front side press surface 102 and the pass of fixture 101 to for completely closing the initial rotation torque that (closing) direction rotates It closes initial rotation torque when being abutted with the force section 53a of inclined surface 52b and is more than closing fixture 101 and lateral surface 52r and freedom Initial rotation torque when the force section 53a ' of end flat surface 52c is abutted.Therefore, even if before to closing the application of fixture 101 Fang Yidong power is small, and present embodiment can also make the actuator 50 of fully open position to closing direction with larger rotation torque Rotation.
The electrical connector 10 of present embodiment can be such that distance L1 increases.Therefore, electrical connector 10 (insulator 30) Upper surface (top 32) and close fixture 101 gap can become larger.Closing fixture 101 as a result, will not be with electrical connector 10 Collision, operability are excellent.Even if if existing around connector than 10 higher component of electrical connector closing fixture 101 not Can be with the component contact, operability is excellent.
